Using rap music, Taylor-Davis is planning to launch an educational workshop, The Gwendolyn Taylor-Davis Project for Teen Literacy and Education to help teenagers understand and appreciate the rhythm and movement in creative poetry, reading and writing. We have learned in our poetry programs, the power of poetry in the lives of the young adults, whether they read it, recite it or write it, says Taylor-Davis. Its a way for them to resolve conflict, to make shifts in their lives, to find positive communal support. It gave them a sense of self worth. She is enlisting the participation of members of the literary and music community to help promote teen literacy by combining their passion and talents with hers on a DVD. All profits from the sales of the DVD will be donated to charity.

 The Gwendolyn Taylor-Davis Project for Teen Literacy and Education featuring The Worlds finest Rappin Librarian will be produced by RKV/Brooklyn Group in association with J-LoGisticX AV.

Executive Producers: Robin C. Adams & Michael Helman
